Lt. Col. USAF, Joe Kress, Ret.: GOVERNMENT VS. GUNS

GOVERNMENT VS. GUNS

By Joe KressJanuary 2, 2013NewsWithViews.com

No amount of sympathy can satisfy the horror of those parents whose children, their most precious possessions, and no appropriate amount of honor can be bestowed on the brave principal and 5 teachers who forfeited their lives in their efforts to stop the killer during the recent tragedy where 27 U.S. citizens gave up their lives to a certified madman, who first killed his mother with her own gun(s) and then drove to a grade school and attacked the rooms where little children of ages 6 to 7 years old were sitting at their desks.

So what can be done about insuring that such senseless killings will never happen again? We're all aware that since the gun attack on Ronald Reagan, which almost ended his life at that time, and on James Brady, permanently crippled these past 30 years, both mentally and physically, up to now. Brady’s wife, Sarah, has since conducted a determined and mainly successful vendetta against the gun lobbies and guns in general. Probably, if I were Brady's parents, at the time, I would have stood with his wife in her dedication. But today there are considerations more important than the deaths and injury of all victims due to weapons of every dimension, the kitchen knife, poison, homemade bombs and a political atmosphere that risks the financial collapse of our country, burdened by $16.4 trillion dollars in debt, which grows by billions of dollars daily, a debt that could eventually plunge the "beacon on the hill" into chaos, insurrection, starvation, poverty.

All could not escape the fall of empires, and ours, less than 300 years old, is far down the road leading to third-world status. One should read or re-read Leftism Revisited from de Sade and Marx to Hitler and Pol Pot, by Erik von Kuehnelt-Leddihn, about the chaos of the French Revolution, where starving crowds became a dangerous menace to all of France and its people, egged on by Robespierre and his rogues. Could that happen here in the good old country of Uncle Sam? I recommend also Atlas Shrugged, by Ayn Rand, a depiction what is actually being done to this country now by utopian lefties in government. Leftism Revisited was printed in 1990 and Atlas Shrugged in 1963.

The fact is that almost all mass murderers were on drugs, medical or illegal, but certainly nearly all were seriously, mentally disturbed. Considering that there are three hundred million guns owned by the public, statistically, the U.S. gun-owning public is highly responsible and prudent. The U.S. murder rate proportional to Australia, with its confiscatory gun laws, is the same, at 1 %. Great Britain, where all but shot guns are strictly controlled, the rest being illegal except for police and military, recently has a murder rate one percent higher than the U.S.

The fact is that our public school teachers and systems are prohibited from even alluding to God. Not telling Johnny that God declares lying and cheating is wrong because it's not appropriate or because it might offend an atheist will satisfy any little child as truth. Children, not held responsible to a Higher Being have little reason to consider retribution either here or in the hereafter. The rate of cheating within the schools is alarming, and the SAT scores reflect that, which is a major reason why the United States is rated twenty-sixth in education among the world's developed nations. Another reason is that tech-savvy children are not absorbing math, civics, history, or English (grammar, syntax and composition). However, most of these same students are well-versed in using iPods and can text faster than the eye can read.

They can play panda fighter and war games on their computer, yet ask them what the Civil War was about or for that matter why we have a constitution and they can make no reply or their answer is simply wrong.

We have college-educated nerds, who understand the most complex cyber science, or how to work the floor of the New York Stock Exchange futures desk, but fail to understand ethics and loyalty to their country because the government education system was planned long ago to convince them that they are a mere digit in a complicated world in which only world government and world citizenship are the solution to war and poverty.

The fact is that the modern student is more familiar with the Internet, Hollywood movies and computer games of violence, with gruesome depictions of eye gouging, decapitations and mass murder, a steady stream of which appears on television and in theatres. Is it any wonder why life is considered cheap and horror simply entertainment?

Is the Second Amendment to our Constitution meant only to protect the individual or is it also to protect the nation from an out-of-control government with dictatorial powers? Never do the nation's major media outlets mention that the rule of an out-of-control government, such as Hitler's or Stalin's, dominated by the Godless Nazi or Communist parties, could also be the fate of our country.

Is Sandy Hook primarily a gun problem? I don't think it is. Our Marxist/Socialist, one-world-government advocate and leader, the one who accelerated the debt inherited from a series of other one-world-government advocates, desires the elimination of the Second Amendment and is presently in the process with his White House accomplices of shredding the entire Constitution in favor of one from The Hague.

"A well-regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed."

To me that means all the states within the United States should have a well-regulated Militia. “Regulated” is key to the meaning of the Second Amendment, hence the formation of State Guards. The modern armies have sophisticated cannons, laser and sound to use as weapons for crowd control and own all the 45- and 50-caliber machine guns, not legally available to the public, which can wipe out as many as they did in WW I and WW II. May I suggest that a powerful national government has all the means and will use these means against citizens who rebel against tyranny? It is already in the works to abort posse comitatus to allow American soldiers to use force against American citizens; already the CIA is authorized to use its intelligence capability to intrude on American citizens' privacy. Their intelligence devices are capable of observing people in their houses from outside; they can employ mind control through drugs and a host of other devices to wipe out opposition.

Unregulated civilians armed with pea shooters, single shot rifles and handguns can't hope to win against a national government, unless they are organized, fully financed and led by competent military and logistics experts. At one time, the State Guards were under the jurisdiction of the governors of the individual states. It was because of Lincoln's Civil War that the right of the individual states is even arguably curtailed. The word “national” was substituted long after the Second Amendment was written. Today, the “National Guard” is engaged in foreign entanglements and the governors have no say, when the demand comes down from Washington. The rules changed after National Guard troops were not asked to join the government’s imbroglio in Korea. Deploying the National Guard began after that no-win war and continues in all those that followed.

The only way to win wars is to be determined to do so and, if our government decides to attack a rebellious populace I'm concerned that our citizens, unlearned in devotion to the Constitution and national sovereignty, do not have the stamina of the rebels who fight against the Syrian dictator or the freedom seeking masses rallying against the wannabe dictator in Egypt.

Former presidents George H. W. Bush and George W. Bush belong to Yale University's elite society for selected Yale students to become political and financial leaders within the government and key powerful entities affecting the populace. The older Bush is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) and was a member of David Rockefeller's Trilateral Commission (TC). Jimmy Carter, (CFR, TC), Bill Clinton (CFR, TC) and his wannabe wife, Hillary (CFR), Richard Nixon (CFR) and Gerald Ford (CFR) all belonged to the secret Bilderberg Group that sets policy for the Council on Foreign Relations. The Bilderberg Group’s members also include other former CFR and Trilateral members, international bankers, key representatives of the endowments emanating from the tax-exempt foundations, such as the Rockefeller Carnegie, and Ford, the owners of the major media outlets and members of the world’s interlocking international corporate boards. These are the powers behind our own government who make policies favoring world government.

Our presidents already bypass the Congress through presidential directives and the Congress, though its own most influential CFR members’ purpose is to install international socialism and unelected judges located in Brussels, Belgium at the Hague.

President Obama, in his role, has contributed much more to the enormous, debilitating national financial insolvency, but his major purpose is to insure redistribution of wealth to all those who are expected to contribute to keeping him in power for a third term. His continued reckless, if not traitorous, aim is the leveling of our nation, composed of mendicants numbering in the millions, mostly legalized aliens from Mexico and South America, the bulk of them poor and in need of government assistance. They believe Obama will bring them up out of poverty, educate and protect them, providing he remains in power. Their hands are outstretched to receive that which makes them dependent slaves to "Big Brother," and they will be always loyal Democrats.

The same tactics were used by current and past dictators throughout the world.

How could this happen? Actually, it took from 1893 to the present. It happened even before Teddy Roosevelt in 1906 dedicated his administration to enlarging America’s presence on the international stage, which led us into WWI. The players in this dark, human comedy include all of us who unquestioningly follow others down the wider, most-traveled road, the one leading to the abyss.

Those who led us in the past, and even now, are J.P. Morgan, the international banker, the most powerful financial manipulator in America, who had incestuous links with the Rockefeller interests, and the Rothschild, Warburg and Schiff investment banking interests in both the U.S. and in Europe.

The National Bankers Association published the Panic Circular of 1893. The coordinated Morgan cabal issued orders to the major banks that subsequently affected all banks after J.P. Morgan ordered that the major banks retire one-third of their circulation and call in half of their outstanding loans. At that point, the public, robbed of their investments and unable to make new investments, went into sour mode and, in the autumn of 1907, Morgan’s real purpose became evident. Morgan killed off his rivals in favor of banks within the Morgan circle that had reserve funds sufficient to weather the storm, whereas smaller banks, unable to continue issuing loans, failed. No business interests had any desire to borrow at higher interest rates, so most of Morgan's banking competitors landed in the dumpster and millions lost savings they held in those banks.

Congressman Charles Lindbergh, Sr. declared that "The money trusts ... [also] caused the 1907 panic and thereby forced Congress to create a National Monetary Commission. The Commission just so happened to be headed by Senator Nelson Aldrich, known to be the mouthpiece of the international bankers on Capitol Hill. His grandson’s, Nelson Rockefeller's, first name was to honor his mother's father, Senator Nelson Aldrich.

The 1907 financial panic was well planned, not only to eliminate competition of the small banks, but to set up what became the Federal Reserve in 1913, which has allowed bankers to print un-backed, debt-created money and, through the contrived practice of fractionalized lending to create deposits above a 10-percent required reserve and re-loan at higher interest the money that was left on deposit from existing creditors. Money deposited can be circulated up to 9 times before additional receipts need to be deposited. This scam is the most outrageous of all time, perpetrated by the Federal Reserve which is not federal and not a reserve. It is composed of foreign international and national creditors, led by JPMorgan Chase Bank, at one time headed by David Rockefeller, the oldest son of John D. Rockefeller.

The Congress also created the income tax in 1913. President Wilson, who agreed to join in the ongoing WWI conflagration in Europe admitted at the end of his term as president that there is a power so great that no one dare mentions it by name. He also admitted that he had ruined his country. I seriously doubt that he regretted other than his actions with respect to the central bank, the income tax and perpetual war for an illusory “peace.”

The Council on Foreign Relations was founded in 1921 and was first headed by Wilson's trusted adviser, Edward House, his name changed from Edward Hus, a millionaire who was really an agent of Rothschild's cabal. He led Wilson’s effort to bring the United States into the League of Nations, which was not approved by a wiser Congress than we have today. He was the first chairman of the CFR and set its course for international acceptance of world government.

Guns are not the problem, they are the tools of protection from starving crowds and desperate people who would rather sell other people's possessions and eat their saved rations. Guns protect the people from those who would kill for any reason as did the head-choppers of the French Revolution. The hope is that somehow the masses with legal guns will be able to defeat the forces of revolutionary chaos and those of a despotic government intent on instilling despotic rule.
